Job Description

We maintain a rotating crew of nine to ten architectural interns with openings throughout the year. These paid positions last six-months and are open to architecture students and recent architecture school graduates from around the world.

The concept of “internship” can mean different things to different firms. The goal of the Olson Kundig’s Internship Program is to provide experience and exposure to the many facets of architectural practice. Interns assist project teams and may gain experience with schematic design, AutoCAD, Revit, model making, construction documents, and presentation projects.

The Internship Program is based on a tradition of mentorship. Interns have the opportunity to attend construction site visits, an in-office speaker series, and weekly design critiques where our entire office gathers to review and critique an ongoing design project. Interns are also offered a weekly lunchtime lecture series, which is devoted to a wide variety of architectural subjects. During a six-month internship, each intern is expected to prepare and give a presentation of their work to the office.

In the past, we have had many talented interns from across the United States and 30 different countries. Interns from countries outside of the U.S. are responsible for obtaining the necessary paperwork enabling them to work in the U.S., although the firm will provide a letter stating its offer of employment.
